LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister David Cameron has apologized to patients who were infected from a contaminated blood scandal during the 1970s and 1980s.

Tainted government blood products and transfusions infected thousands of people with the hepatitis C virus and HIV from 1970 to 1991 — one of the worst treatment disasters in the history of Britain's public health care system.
